A Prairie of Pitch.

have Just returned from a trip to the
so called "Pitch Lake. writes a cor.
respondent from Port of Spain, Trinidad,
TO the Philadelphia Inquirer. Running
south down the Parian Gulf TO La Brea,
some forty miles distant from this port,
we there disembarked, and. climbing Q
gentle ascent of 40 feet, we found the
lake, a little more than mile inland.
Strictly speaking, there is no lake in the
common acceptance of the term, but q
level plain, composed of a concrete,
though flexible, mass of pitch, covering
an area of perhaps 100 acres.
Bushes, patches of vegetation and &C.
casional pools of brackish water diversity
the surface here and there, giving it the
appearance of a mud swamp. There is
no difficulty in walking or wading from
one end to the other, for with the sole
exception of several places where the
pliffris in state of ebullition in a soft
and viscid consistency the ''laken is semi
solid. On it found chestnut colored
men and women digging out large clods
of the asphalt with ak and shovel and
loading it upon donkey carts.
Each lump of the asphalt exhibited
small cavities, and we were informed by
the diggers that they never dig deep
enough 70 find the pitch at all softened.
The roughened surface of the pits is ex-
posed 10 the tropical sun, and within a
few days the cavities are full again. From
$4,000 to 40, 900 tons of the asphalt are
dug out every year, each cubic foot of
the pitch weighing on an average sixty
pounds 1t is estimated that there are in
the deposit not less than 10000, 900
